🥳 Today is an extra special day 🥳 YES! A-INSIGHTS celebrates its 15th anniversary! On November 20, 2009, our founders Bart Zirschky and Jeroen Lustig walked into the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce, taking the first steps on an incredible journey: the creation of Annual Insight, which would later evolve into A-INSIGHTS. ✨ Since then, we’ve analyzed thousands of annual reports, processed millions of data points, and, let’s be honest, our founders have picked up a few more wrinkles along the way! But we’re as energized and committed as ever to supporting food companies in strengthening their market intelligence capabilities. Here's to 15 more years, and many, many more. ❤️
